A backyard built for entertaining by Superior Lawn & Landscape
SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION: Garden and Landscape Guide

Cabin fever is as prevalent in Minnesota as the common cold, rampantly afflicting Twin Cities residents with a seasonal claustrophobia and restlessness that only spring and its May flowers can cure.
As the weather warms, every man, woman and child in the metro area can’t help but spend every waking moment outside. Picnic baskets invade the parks, joggers and swimmers take to the lakes and ice cream cones actually start to melt. Little by little, we all forget how bad winter really was.

Spending the day out and about is wonderful, but passing the time in our very own outdoor spaces can also help fade memories of a chilly winter. Opening patio umbrellas and lighting up barbeque grills is a statewide celebration of the thaw. Investing in your personal outdoor space can foster family togetherness and help you reconnect with nature in a way that doesn’t involve scraping ice off of your windshield.
In this Garden & Landscape Guide, read about how the following Twin Cities businesses can help you recover from cabin fever by making the most out of your yard, bringing your special vision to life and helping you maintain your ideal outdoor environment.

The rainy—or, as is often the case here in Minnesota, snowy—month of April allows plenty of time to work with a seasoned professional to develop a master plan for your backyard, front yard and everything green in between. After all, May flowers don’t plant themselves!
